Ghost-Note 'Swagism' | Live at Victoria JazzFest

Ghost-Note is co-led by Snarky Puppy rhythm section mates Robert Searight (drum kit) and Nate Werth (percussion). Originating as a percussion duo, they've built a band with a "rotating cast of serious cats" including former Prince bass player MonoNeon on their new album Swagism. Funky grooves with more than a touch of psychedelic improvisation is their trademark, with rhythm in the spotlight.

Watch Ghost-Note perform 'Swagism' at the main stage in Victoria, B.C. for the Victoria Jazz Society's 2018 International JazzFest. The festival celebrated its 35th year and as the longest-running music festival on Vancouver Island. The performance took place on June 24, 2018.

Musicians
Robert “Sput” Searight drums, Nate Werth percussion, Sylvester Uzoma Onyejiaka II sax & flute, Dywane “MonoNeon” Thomas Jr. bass and Xavier Taplin keys.
